Clearing Paper Jams
If your scanner stops scanning due to a paper jam in the Automatic Document Feeder, a warning 
opens after a few moments.
1. Open the Automatic Document Feeder cover.
Do not attempt to remove a jammed page with the scanner closed.
– If the page is jammed at the start of the paper path carefully pull it out of the scanner.
– If the page is jammed farther in the ADF, use the manual feed wheel to feed the jammed 
page through the ADF.  And then pull out the jammed page from under the paper input 
tray.
2. Remove the jammed paper and close the cover.
To reduce the number of paper jams, smooth and straighten the paper before scanning, adjust 
the guides to the paper size, and insert the paper evenly into the ADF.
Cleaning the Scanner
Cleaning Inside the Automatic Document Feeder
Cleaning the inside of the scanner helps to keep your scanner operating at optimum performance. 
You should clean the inside of the scanner at least once a week or after 1,000 pages have been 
scanned. If you are getting frequent paper jams, multiple pages feeding at the same time, or 
you’re seeing lines in the scanned image, it is time to clean the scanner.
Note: Be careful when cleaning the rollers. All of the rollers, except the free rollers, are designed to 
rotate in one direction only. Do not force the roller to rotate in the opposite direction. Forcing the 
roller to rotate will damage it, and cause the scanner to feed pages incorrectly.

6. Wipe clean the glass strip on the underside of the duplex lamp module. Wipe clean the glass 
strip in the body of the scanner.
7. Close the scanner when you’re finished.
Cleaning the Scanner Glass
Scanning items that have excessive amounts of dirt or dust may dirty the glass. To ensure the best 
quality scanned item, wipe the scanner glass with a soft, dry, clean cloth to rid the glass of dust or 
other debris.
If any residue remains after wiping the glass with a dry cloth, try adding a few drops of Isopropyl 
alcohol (rubbing alcohol) to the cloth and wipe off the residue.
Replacing the ADF Pad and Roller(s)
The ADF pad and/or rollers will wear out and are designed to be user replaceable parts. Each 
section below indicates the expected scan life of the replaceable part. 
						

							Maintenance Xerox® DocuMate® 4830 Scanner
User Guide29
After replacing a part as described in this section, reset the counter in the scanner properties page 
in the Windows Control Panel. On the Device Settings tab, click on the red reset button next the 
part counter that you replaced.
Replacing the ADF Pad Assembly
Problems with documents feeding into the ADF is an indication that the pad is wearing thin. The 
usage life of the ADF pad varies by what type of documents are generally scanned. Scanning large 
batches of heavily textured paper and embossed plastic cards will cause the ADF pad to wear 
faster. Large continuous batch scanning will also cause the ADF pad to wear faster. The ADF pad 
can be used to scan up to 50,000 pages. 
You received a replacement pad in the original scanner box, you can also order a new one. 
Replacement parts can be purchased from the Parts & Accessories page for your scanner at 
www.xeroxscanners.com
.
Discard the parts as you remove them from the scanner, the parts cannot be reused and are a 
choking hazard.
1. Open the ADF cover. The ADF pad is located on the top of the duplex lamp module.

2. Squeeze the plastic clamp that holds the pad assembly in place.
3. Lift the pad up and out of the scanner.
4. Remove the tension spring that is located under the ADF pad.
5. Place the new tension spring in the scanner.
6. Place the new ADF pad in the scanner on top of the tension spring.
7. Press down on the ADF pad until you hear a "click" when it locks in place.
8. Close the scanner when you’re finished.
Replacing the Feed Roller
The roller will wear out and is designed to be a user-replaceable part. A worn roller can cause 
documents to feed in skewed at an angle, or multiple pages to feed at the same time. Before 
replacing the roller you should clean it as excessive dust on the roller will make it appear worn and 
smooth. You cannot properly diagnose a worn roller until you have cleaned it. You should generally 
replace the roller every 160,000 to 200,000 scans.
